Konami Requests Removal of Skullgirls from PSN, XBLA

Following the dissolution of the partnership between publisher Konami and developer Lab Zero Games, Konami has requested that Skullgirls be removed from PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.

Konami has requested that the PSN and XBLA versions be removed on December 17 and 31, respectively. Lab Zero is making plans to make a build exclusive to publisher Autumn Games, but Konami has not yet responded to the developer's request for more time before the requested PSN removal, according to a forum on Skullheart.

Sony said that existing owners won't have to buy Skullgirls again, and the removal should not delete the title from hard drives. Lastly, according to the post, the Steam version of Skullgirls won't be removed, although the current business climate might delay updates to the game.
